Hare Krsna, Hare Rama.

Been a long day.

TB/BW here.


HpS - Got up about 2.47AM and chanted some Japa etc. Bath.... FMP... Prepared for SB class.

It is a struggle for him to control his mind and do the work,

but as he mentions in the post by Carlos, he has learned a little how to dovetail his passions and keep moving.

Class was very satisfying and then we had enough energy to call Dr. Samaresh. We had to ight with the robots.

Talked for 1/2-hour. He has wonderful suggestion that Solaris and Stapathyam work together. He is seeing very similar projects to what we have from this side for Solaris.


Then rested.

Saw a biography of Lord Cochrane. Was interesting. How to be a Ksatriya for Krsna.


Whatsapp mail, Yahoo mail, looked at the Tsunami of mail in the Blog.

Washed our clothes.

Washed the 10-pounds of excellent groceries that M. Desai sent with Rufus.

Fought to contact Globat to get www.JayaRama.US working.

Had to break the chat and go walking with NgD and Viajay. Got in some good running.

Little work on the DTC(p) for Vatsala Das.

Other stuff could not do.

15-minutes with RRD.

8PM local Kirtan and NOI.

Letter from Carlos.

8.41PM - Good night.

Thank you.

Hot milk and KRSNA book.

TB/BW (Trying to escape from the spell of The Evil One).


(KRSNA is very beautiful.. Too beautiful).

How is Hrdayananda Goswami?

Hurray! Krsna!

AgtSP

paoho...... we are dying? How about you.

Brother Ass' chest aches are very low.

Eyes are weak but O.K.


Digestion O.K.


Got water dripping in Kitchen and Bathroom because it is already (9.53PM) below freezing and if the water is not moving in the pipes they will freeze, expand and BURST (B OOM!).

How are you?

We have 16 nice rounds done.

[] [] []


We love Krsna.


We are afraid of Him. He is just to frightenng! He wants to eat us! With His glances.


- -


Got a lot of letters more, but our backside and eyes hurt from writing. It is also hard to do. So nice to hear from devotees.


Gave three classes to day: NOD, Puerto Rico (that was fun) and Murfrees boro. Ran to join NgD for our 45-minute walk. Heard a little bit about the madness of Trump??

Cut and collated the last DTC(p) and started a new one.

We don't know much beyond what is happening in our little room.

🤓

Can dye and any moment. Or live for 10,000 years.


Oink!


Hare Krsna! Hare Rama! vidya vadu jivanam... Always chanting gives us priorities. There is unlimited service, and no one can do it all. Do the most important things first and then the rest of the army, Krsna, will do the rest.


Where is Sita?


Here is the ring!!!


We will return to Rama with your jewel.

Brahma Muhurtha

Hare Krishna Maharaja, por favor acepte mis humildes reverencias, todas las glorias a Srila Prabhupada.

Espero que este bien Maharaja, le quería preguntar una duda que tengo acerca de una frase que un discípulo suyo me envió que dijo usted.


En el texto dice que el que duerme en el Brahma muhurtha tomara conciencia para nacer como rata en Vrindavan en la siguiente vida; entonces tengo dos preguntas:


1- Es que nacer como cualquier tipo de animal en Vrindavan es una bendicion incluso como una rata y será su ultimo nacimiento en la tierra. Por qué si dormir en el Brahma muhurtha no es una austeridad tiene ese resultado tan bueno de nacer en Vrindavan.


2- Cual es la fuente de los sastras donde indica esa información ? ya que no la escuche antes en las escrituras.


Muchas gracias.

Su sirviente.

Hare Krishna, Maharaja,

Please accept my humble obeisances, all glories to Srila Prabhupada.

I hope Maharaja is well.


HpS - 90%, but fighting with The Witch. Your association is essential!


I wanted to ask you a question I have about a phrase that a disciple of yours sent me that you said.

In the text he says that the one who sleeps in the Brahma muhurtha will become conscious to be born as a rat in Vrindavan in the next life; so I have two questions:


1- It is that being born as any type of animal in Vrindavan is a blessing even as a rat and it will be its last birth on earth. Why if sleeping in the Brahma muhurtha is not an austerity does it have such a good result of being born in Vrindavan.


HpS - ASA -- I don't think we said that. I think it was the prediction of Monkey or Piggy et al. Prabhupada said, (they say), that if we are in ISKCON, but don't follow the regulative principles well then Krsna may find a way to sneak us into Vrndavana by the back door eg. as rats in the sewers or lusty monkeys.

But he said better to come in through the front door with our head up, showing a good example of Srila Prabhupada.

He said, there are already enough monkeys in Vrndavana.


2- What is the source of the sastras where it indicates that information? since I did not hear it before in the scriptures.


HpS - We would have to find Monkey and ask him. The above is part of the "Sastric" citation. Morning walk? Class? Also, now we are remembering Srila Prabhupada saying in one of these also about ... I think Yajnavalkya Das b'cari told me he heard Prabhupada say that if we sleep during Mangala arati we will become rats in our next life. They like to pile up together under ground and sleep.

Story of regular day of Krsna in Krsna book gives nice description of Brahma muhurta and its importance.


Thanks a lot.

His servant.

Madhavendra Puri Dasa.

Hare Krsna.

Your association is so marvelous.

We can barely write.

We are hot in our room.

Want to fall asleep.

Yet just writing in ecstacy to you and we can make our way through the mode of ignorance, but we are afraid that it will kill us.

That's O.K.

We have done everything we need to to do.

Now it is time to die.


-or-


Live!

Live or die, stay or fly,

as Krsna's bird.

paoho


Getting our rounds done.


Finished the Reports from last year!!!! If you feel you are a fifth class disciple, then we are like a 7th class "guru", but we try within the shade of Srila Prabhupada's lotus feet.


We answered a lot of other mail.


We have so much to do, but our eyes are collapsing. No walk tonight because it is below Free Zing. 😁


The old machine is starting to groan, so better rest it before it collapses.


Lot of nice looking letters, but can't get to them.


Will answer one or two URGENT even if we die trying.

Srila Prabhupada gave us the KRSNA book and so much more. He was managing his chemical factory and then became a full time Brahmana absorbed in writing and teaching!

We worked on the 'Viplavah' today. We finished editing Vaisesika Das' interview.

It is amazing how we got it transcibed so quickly.

It took a fair amount of editing but it is so nice.

Maybe we can finish 'Viplavah' tomorrow.


Have not been able to get to too much more mail.


Our eyes just won't handle too much more screen work.


-4 degrees Celscius here at night.


Every night 45-minute brisk walk with NgD.

"Ayodhya" comes from "yudhya", to fight. So, a-yodhya means an undefeatable city!


We prepare for local Kirtan and class. Will send the youtube link at 7.25PM.


Hari Bolo!! Purify the three worlds with your Sankirtan.
